My doctor is a top surgeon here in Atlanta and I am a very low risk . My bmi is right at 36. I am doing out patient and as long as I can drink , walk n not nausea I can go home

I totally trust the dr but someone who had over 100lbs to lose said she never heard of out patient n that is was crazy basically to think I could

Anyone have out patient?

I've lost 128 pounds so far and my husband has lost 100 pounds and is at goal. We were both outpatient. In at 7:30 am, out by 5:30 pm. The doc's not going to recommend outpatient if he doesn't think it's safe, it's his reputation on the line.

Mine was technically outpatient even though I spent the night in the hospital. I was told it was outpatient up to 24 hours after surgery. Then, they have to decide whether or not to let you go home or admit you. I was doing well enough to go home.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
